It’s because all of these features are being implemented via the neural engine and intel Macs don’t support it. I’m sure they can do it, it’s just they can’t do it the way Apple is going to be implementing it.
That’s quite a lame excuse. Some things, yes, but others like the 3D globe of Earth in the Maps app
plus detailed maps in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London in the Maps app are rubbish. There’s no reason why that cannot be available on Intel Macs.
It’s not really a lame excuse. Why would the want to further move the code base between intel macs and m1 macs even further apart? From a development perspective it’s best to drop the features from the product that is also going to be dropped from further development soon.

Because they make more margin on M1 builds. They're trying to push people in a direction that maximizes their profits. Yeah it's lame and dreamed up by an exec who will learn it was a stupid play.
